Description

Utilizing a small quantity of his own blood, the Necromancer is able to give life to a creature neither living nor dead, yet formed of human tissue. This homunculus gains nourishment from the fresh blood of its slain enemies, from which it replenishes its strength. Tied to the Necromancer through the mage's own blood, the Blood Golem is able to share this stolen life force with his master. Unfortunately, the link flows both ways, and any damage taken by the Golem is also transmitted to the caster. *Note*

General Information

Active Effect : Summons a golem made of your blood. It heals both itself and you based on the damage it deals.

Bloog Golem functions as a healing unit (although it only heals the Necromancer and itself and not hirelings, for instance).

The Blood Golem's life drain is based completely on its own attack rather than the total amount of its target's hit points. Furthermore, if it is affected by a damage return ability like Thorns or Iron Maiden, the life drained is based on its attack rather than how much damage the enemy attacker did to it.

Blood Golem as seen in Diablo 2

Hit Points stolen by the Blood Golem are not subtracted from the target.

The Golem gains 70% of the health it steals while the player gains 30%. If the current life + stolen life is greater than the maximum life of the Blood Golem, the Hit Point overflow goes to the Necromancer. If the current life + stolen life > maximum life of the Necromancer, the Hit Point overflow returns to the Golem up to the maximum life for each target.
